Friendship, love, and piety ought to be handled with a sort of mysterious secrecy; they ought to be spoken of only in the rare moments of perfect confidence, to be mutually understood in silence. Many things are too delicate to be thought; many more, to be spoken.
Love is the final end of the world's history, the Amen of the universe.
Character is a perfectly educated will.
Learning is pleasurable but doing is the height of enjoyment.
All the events of our life are materials of which we can make what we will.
The seat of the soul is where the inner world and the outer world meet. Where they overlap, it is in every point of the overlap.
